Through-the-wall Installation

This air conditioner is designed as a slide-out type chassis, making it possible to install it through-the-wall in both existing and new construction. We recommend that this type of installation be performed with professional assistance.

• IMPORTANT: This appliance must be installed according to all applicable electrical and building codes and ordinances.

• It is recommended that you have help to install your unit and that you use proper lifting technique to avoid personal injury.

• It is important that you inspect the condition of the wall where the air conditioner will be installed.

• Be sure the wall can support the weight of the unit.

• All cabinet louvers MUST BE on the outdoor side of the wall. DO NOT BLOCK SIDE LOUVERS.

• The cabinet must be installed level from side-to-side and with a downward tilt from inside to outside.

The instructions below are for a typical wall installation. Your application may vary. Please consult your authorized dealer or importer before attempting any installation not covered in this manual.

1. First remove the Decorative front panel and chassis from the cabinet, then remove top bar from the cabinet.

2. Determine the size of the opening for a wood frame by adding 1/8” to the width and height of the cabinet. Measure height from top of cabinet to bottom of bar. Add this measurement to the thickness of wood used to build the frame. This will determine the size of wall opening needed. Minimum 1” thick lumber is recommended when building the frame. When determining finish frame thickness, be sure not to cover side louvers on the cabinet.

3. Install the ﬁnished frame in the wall opening square and level, nail or screw it securely to the wall and place the cabinet into the framed wall opening.

4. Make sure cabinet projects into the roomside of the wall 1

1/4” at the top and 1 1/2” at the bottom to ensure proper tilt and access to the anti-theft screw, then fasten cabinet to the frame by drilling twelve (12) 1” wood screws (not supplied) through the cabinet and into the frame.

If installation is made in a building with brick veneer construction, a steel angle lintel must be used to support the bricks above the cabinet.

5. Install a 3/4” X 1 1/2” wood ﬁller strip between the bottom bar and the interior strip. After cabinet is installed caulk all openings, inside and outside between ﬁnish frame and cabinet to prevent moisture from getting to the interior of the wall. Use of ﬂashing (driprail) will further prevent water from dripping inside the wall.

6. Install chassis into cabinet.

Condensate Drain

A condensate drain is provided to divert excess water when air

onditioner is installed over a doorway or sidewalk.

1. Pry cap plug from the condensate drain (located on nderside of bottom pan). Use a 3/8” pipe tap and fully

u thread the condensate drain (Fig. 18).

2. Screw a 3/8” pipe ﬁtting into the condensate drain. The

ﬁtting should be protruding approximately 1/2” above the bottom pan when fully threaded into the condensate drain (Fig. 19).

3. If an open drain source is used to dispose of condensate,

plastic or rubber tubing may be run directly from the pipe ﬁtting to the open drain source. If closed drain source (internal structural plumbing) is used, a “P” trap must be between the 3/8” pipe ﬁtting and the closed drain source (Fig. 20).

Consult your authorized dealer or importer for alternative installation instructions.

Unit is designed to operate with approximately 1/2” of water in bottom pan.

Do not remove the cap plug, unless the condensate drain is used.
